5 Calgary-born players helped the University of Denver reach the Frozen Four Finals

It will be the University of Denver against Boston College in the Frozen Four final on Saturday night, and five Calgary-born Pioneer players will be in the spotlight.

The match ended Thursday night after Boston College defeated Michigan 4-0.

Tristan Brose scored in overtime on Wednesday to give the University of Denver a 2-1 victory over Boston University on Thursday and send the Pioneers to the NCAA finals.

Brose carried the puck into the offensive zone about eight minutes into overtime, then pulled it back, screened in front of Boston University goaltender Mathieu Caron and slotted it through the five-hole for the winner.

The win sends the Pioneers, who have six Albertans, including five from the Calgary area, into the NCAA final against the winner of Saturday's semifinal between Michigan and Boston College.

Calgary-born goaltender Matt Davis scored a sensational goal for Denver, and in the third, Lae saved BU from the post on a shot that would have given BU a one-goal lead.
